“Command Module 107 and Service Module move from Chamber “L” to work stand. Command Module 108 in background.”

 

And what appears to be another, possibly later ‘official’ description:

 

"Apollo Command and Service Modules scheduled for manned landing mission on the Moon cross paths in the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building at KSC. The meeting occurred when the CSM for Apollo 11 was being hoisted out of a test chamber and the CSM for Apollo 12, which recently arrived at KSC, was getting its initial checkout in the aisle."

 

And/or:

 

“Apollo command and service modules scheduled for manned landing missions on the moon cross paths in the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building at the spaceport. The meeting occurred last night when the CSM for Apollo 11 was being hoisted out of a test chamber and the CSM for Apollo 12, which recently arrived at Kennedy Space Center, was getting its initial checkouts in the aisle. Apollo 11 is scheduled for the first manned lunar landing mission this summer.”

 

According to a knowledgeable individual at the collectSPACE website, LM-5 & LM-6 were also in the MSOB at this time.

 

Unexpectedly - the latter, along with the image - are at the following link. Surprisingly, against all odds, they managed to find the image, orient it correctly and then somehow even mustered the competencies & effort to post it for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11:
